does anyone have any type of designs for a DIY water fall i have been trying to make on in my 10 gallon turtle tank and i cant find anything i like so if anyone has any type of plans ideas or pics of your own DIY waterfall please share
 
i actually had 1 setup when my caiman was smaller that I made myself. Im not sure how much room you have in a 10 gallon though. I used a water pump which pushed water out of the top. I then cut a hole in a cylinder type tupperware container and then cut a long slit out of about 4 inches of the top corner. Water just went through the pump into the cannister (which I filled with some extra scrubbies) and back down. I just piled rocks around it pretty nice with some fake leaves and things. Looked just like a waterfall and was free since I had the Stuff layin around.

wow that is a really cool looking water fall i tried something last night i dont know if i like it yet it had a fake climbing tree from petco drilled a hole in the bottom and a hole in the side and used a 145GPH pum and just ran a tube from the pump into the branch i like ur idea alot better though what size tank did you do that in ?
 
thats in a150, but those rocks are pretty big, maybe some smaller rocks and a smaller container and you can fit it in a 10, not sure but its worth a try since u have a pump already and it really shouldnt cost ne thing.

Nice. Now that's using your head.
 
yea i did something along those lines i jused small flat rocks and a 4 inch hose and water goes through the hose into a rock i drilled and then out of the tp f the rock but im going to lowes in the mornign and im gonna get some plexiglass and redo the entire tank im OCD on this i can tell lol
 
well im making my own i already siliconed a piece of plexiglass into the tank so i can add a pump and hose the land side will be filled with gravel and some flat rocks for the water to flow over back into the tank i bought that GE silicone it says it takes 12 hours to cure i hate it it takes way to long like way way to long
